A) A
missile test is conducted in the Nevada desert.
B)
The missile is launched from the ground and reaches a peak of 125 feet before free
falling back to the ground. The missile took 3.5 seconds to travel vertically
and come back down to the ground.

What
is the velocity of the missile at exactly 1 second?

I know that the IRC is 200 ft/s because the velocity of the missile is at its greatest before its peak height and given the tangent line is more vertical than the actual projection its IRC at X=1 second is 200 ft/s which is true because the missile has just launched and therefore is traveling at a very fast speed.
Clear and easy to understand graph and table, great analysis
ReplyDeleteLove how you can clearly tell the difference between the tangent line and the actual graph. Good job. It makes the reader better understand.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Nick that is some great information about the Nevada Desert! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI like how you have used many secant points to display what you are doing. All work is clear to read!
ReplyDeletenick,
ReplyDeletegreat job! i like how organized your work is and you did a really good job of showing the difference between your secant lines and your tangent line using color coordination. also, good job of matching your initial question to the rest of your experiment and remembering to include your units at every step of in your calculations. i have no comments for room for improvement. excellent job!
